l The present invention relates to textile apparatus. v

One of the objects'of the invention is to provide'in proved means for skimming and o polishing textile threads.

Otherobjects' will'appear in the course' of the detailed description now to begiven i with. reference to the accompanying drawl Fig. lishows, in plan, one illustrative embodiment of the invention; I

' Fig. 2 is a similarplan view with cerf tain elements removed;

"Fig.3 is'a section taken on line 33- of Y F g- 1 S part ofthe as senibly'detached f I ffrom'Figl. v

. l "Referring to Figs. 1 to 4 of thg dmw there isshowna platel (casting orthe like) split centrally and provided with a pair of lateral flanges or guides 52, and having an v a U-shaped yoke amounted to lie across plates 1 and 6 and provided with a surface 10 adapted to contact with a thread traversing the space between edges 4 and 8,-a lim- .iting. wall. 11 adapted to coact with surface lO'to act on a thread and mounted integrally with a lever 12,a pin 13 rigidly mounted on lever 12 and positioned to slide in an ol 'lique slot 15 formed inrplate 1,'a screw 14 mounted on yoke 9 and acting'as a pivot for elements 11, 12,a thread guide 16', 17 mounted on stem 18 and adapted to'slide along slot 1 3,means for fixing stem 18 in any desired position consisting of a pairof screws 19,

23, engaging with threads 22 of said stem, and a thread-guide 21 placedunder the divergent slot limited by edges a and 8.

" iIThe operation of the device is practically self-evident from the description: nuts 19 and 3-until edges 4- andSlimit a proper aperture for passage of the thread, the movement of pin 13 in slot 15' changing the distance been tween surfaces 10 and 11. It suffices to tighten 23 are first loosenedand yoke-9 slid along slot nuts 19 and 23 to fix the device in any po-' sition of adjustment.

What I claim is i V 1. In a textile apparatus, a support pro videdwitha slot having divergent edges, guiding means for directing a thread into said'slot, said guiding means being displaceable in the direction ofthe length of said slot, means for locking said guiding means in any one of a plurality of, positions, a pair of spaced walls positioned to cross the direction of said divergent slot, and a means operative by the displacement of saidthread guiding means to displace one of said walls relatively to the other.

2. In a textile apparatus, a support hava guiding slot formed therein, thread guiding means mounted in said guiding slot, means for locking said thread guiding means in position, a plate mounted on said support 30 so that said support and said plate limit a *divergent slot therebetween, a yoke supported on said plate, said yoke having one edge thereof. positioned to lie across the divergent slot formed by said support and said plate, gt a limiting wall positioned in spaced relation to said yoke and so as to lie across the divergent slot formed by said support and said plate, and means operative to displace said limiting wall. 5g

3. In a textile apparatus, a support having a guiding slot formed therein, thread guiding means slidably mounted in said guiding slot, means for locking said thread guiding means in position, a plate mounted on 5 said support so that said support and said plate limit a divergent slot therebctw 'een, a yoke supported on said plate, said yoke having one edge thereof positioned to lie across the divergent slot formed by said support and said plate, a limiting wall positoned in spaced relation to said yolk and so as to lie across the divergent slot formed by said support and said plate. and means operative by movement of said thread guiding means in at said guiding slot to displace said limiting wall relatively to said yoke.

In testimony whereof I afiixed my signature.-
